“While the overall rate of growth in air travel expenditures appears to be slowing, we are encouraged by continued strength in the Latin American and Caribbean markets. We hope to see ongoing revenue growth in July to begin the third quarter,” said ATA Vice President and Chief Economist John Heimlich.

The airline industry still faces cost challenges, especially higher fuel expenses. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects the full-year 2011 average price of U.S. jet fuel will be $3.06 a gallon, more than 40 percent higher than the 2010 average.

Systemwide passenger traffic, as measured by miles flown by paying passengers,(3) rose 0.3 percent while the average price to fly one mile, also known as yield, rose nearly 7 percent for the month.

U.S. domestic revenue grew nearly 6 percent, as passenger yields increased 6 percent
Trans-Atlantic revenue increased 5.6 percent from a year ago
Trans-Pacific revenue rose 5.5 percent
Latin American/Caribbean revenue grew 22 percent as yields rose 18 percent
A sample of U.S. airlines(4) saw spending on shipments of freight and mail rise 6 percent year over year (up 1 percent domestically and 9 percent internationally) in June 2011.
